Before anyone jumps down my throat, I would like to clarify that I’m aware the forums are purely designed to complain about the game, and that compliments are strictly taboo. But at the risk of accidentally killing someone at funcom who’s deathly allergic to positive feedback, I wanted to say I’m having a really great time with this update.
Once I got it working, the purge became very enjoyable. The loop of summoning a purge, getting more treasure from the purge, and increasing your rank because of winning is super satisfying. I love that thralls face their original direction when they return to their starting point. It’s often the small little updates that really improve the game for me. Much of the new loot table is enjoyable. The invisible enemies are finally visible, and the game feels much more stable than before.
I know others are having issues and I don’t want to take away from their concerns. But I just wanted to say that I’m having a great time.
It’s nice to see positive comments from time to time .
People here don’t criticize for the sake of criticizing .
we love Conan Exile and so we say what’s wrong , if the game doesn’t reach us we delete it and we don’t bother to come to a forum to talk about it .
@sestus2009 I’m playing on xbox series x. I heard about the issues other platforms are having and I hope they get resolved soon, because it’s a very fun time!
A tip for the purge in case you have trouble spawning it is make sure you have enough room around your treasure box. I had mine in a very small room and once I opened it up I got purges 100% of the time.
and for myselft as i started from scratch on a pvp private server with x 3 harvest (tired to search for skybase and filling report that took forever to take care of cheaters on official servers when i saw so many legit players sanctionned by the hammer of fc), the fact to have intentionnaly removed the trader from kurak dungeon give a new breath to game, and its now make sense to play because there is interest, i have not tested yet purge, but progress with kurak dungeon trader removed now have a sense again, i have no more dozens of t4 thalls and fighters thralls and the best weapons and enough to do an atomic bomb in 2h of gameplay, so at least conan find his way back to a survival game, well there is a lot again to do, but at least it’s going in the right direction with the removal of traders. with epic weapons becoming now harder to get (wel taking more time) and a pick needed for iron and steel, and knife for tar.
@mynotaure I agree. We comment about things we have issues with because we love this game and want it to be the best possible version of itself. Sometimes it gets frustrating when we see things that seem like they’re obvious problems, and are upset none of the devs pushed the magic button to fix it. I’ve done my fair share of criticism in the past, and I’m sure I’ll criticize things in the future, but for right now, I’m just happy to play the game I enjoy.
I’m having fun when my servers have stability. It rotates between smooth as a glove and not knowing where my thralls are because there’s a 40 second delay. Lost about 30 thralls yesterday, so I guess it’s Zombies from now on.
We ran 3 total purges last night. Two were on an official server at level 3. We had a blast. We had placed 14 fodder thralls (Markos, Devotees) with Lemurian spears outside the gate. All of them were killed after both purges, but the gates were never breached.
The loot we got was pretty good. The thralls from the cages were lower level Imui, Freebooter Mirak, and Dann the Insomniac (Plus a Cimmerian Archer II who somehow died almost immediately).
I then ran a Level 10 on the private game, and that was nuts. Way better loot, including recipes, and top level thralls.
The only thing that bugs me is that we had 2 extra keys after every purge. I searched each camp, but I couldn’t find anything else to unlock.
Ran through a couple of dungeons, and I have to say, good job on this Chapter. Even hit 20 levels of the Battle Pass in 2 short hours. We did some stuff.
The only complaint I have is that some things did not render in unless I logged out and back in. We were trapped in a building because the door never rendered. Half of the storage chests/cabinets never showed up. It was random and weird.
I disagree to one point only my fellow exile @Nethermore.
Forums are a place to create a gaming society and discuss everything about the game.
Every information coming in here from players is counting as feedback. Your feedback is equally necessary as the ones that say i didn’t had a blast or i didn’t like it, or whatever.
All voices are equally important so feel no remorse to say whatever this game brings to you, blast or frustration!
I am really happy you are happy my fellow exile . Tbh i am a bit exited too. I know that something will happen in game to make this to this , but it’s a game after all .
Have fun exile and… WAR
How dare you sir! HOW! DARE! YOU! Do you not care about the health and well being of those poor Funcom employees who live and thrive on the insults to their very abilities? These are people who cannot sleep at night without being told they are worthless scum, barnacles not worthy of being scraped from the hull of society, pimples on the butt of mankind, veritable gum on the underside of the end table.
And you give compliments. COMPLIMENTS! I am disgusted.
I only played a little yesterday, but the new loot table is nice.
It’s too soon to tell for me, but this update LOOKS like a good one.
It doesn’t solve previous problems of balancing, or if anything it makes them even worse, but that was already a mess, so I’m not even noticing anymore.
The new loot is nice. Maybe a bit too high in the amounts, but the variety is great.
compliments are as welcome as criticism. i hope these compliments are heard by the funcom staff and encourage them to do their best in developing the game
On the contrary, I am upset. Momentum is one of the few things, which seriously helps not to lose the thralls in the purge. It’s not good when most of the army that you raised and trained for months dies in 15 minutes.
This however generates a lot of conversations of improvements on the system but not before that these deaths are all on you!
You could check before start risking my friend @Teng.
Anyway, it’s sad and i am really sorry you lost, but look at the bright side, we are noobs again learning by loosing. A half hour ago i lost a lvl 19 relic hunter in the effort to gain an Eri ravager from volcano. I lagged and i got slaughtered. When i return she was dead too .
But let’s go back where we started!
Why we feel loss? Because now training thralls is hard
Why it’s hard?
Because devs wants us to use golems with jar heads and zombies.
Do we like this option?
No.
Why?
Because we love thralls and it’s a game with multiple options so right now what happens to thralls and pets seems unfair to our eyes.
What we suggest?
(personal suggestion)
The third authority perk to give you 2 followers follow you anyway.
The fourth perks to focus on
a) Well trained (like the old one but for both of followers now)
b) fast trained, your followers lvl up twice as fast but their stats remain normal while following.
And buff a bit the animals too, it’s pity how they are now .
No, buddy, I didn’t lose myself - I didn’t lose a single thrall yesterday and even kept my second gate intact in X purge. It’s just that my thralls were leveled a little more than level 20, and five of them had momentums. But I feel sorry for the people who lost a lot. There are already many such messages here.
Overconfidence! You have seen how crazy i am. You know that i care not if i loose. But still after all this experience, i haven’t done a purge yet. If official servers will not stabilize their performance, because lost connection started again, i won’t start one. I prefer to go around the map and learn new things. I had to explore the black keep this way years now.
They added spike traps, they added 2 chests in the bottom of the pool with buff fishes. The loot is cool even from silent legion skeletons. We have flotsams in exile lands, i got one in witch queen palace pools (out not in).
I have absolutely no rush to test the purges. Even if i did, i would do it in single player that the performance is correct.
Absolutely zero reason for risk and loss .
And above all, no haste!
I like to have reasons to play and now i have a lot .
Ps. The loot table is tempting for new challenges .
. Tbh i am a bit exited too. I know that something will happen in game to make this 
to this 
, but it’s a game after all
